Loan balances include net deferred loan costs of $6,931,000 in 2020 and $7,419,000 in 2019. Pursuant to collateral agreements, qualifying first mortgage loans and commercial real estate, which totaled $378,183,000 and $296,871,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were used to collateralize borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. In addition, commercial, residential construction and home equity loans totaling $259,599,000 at December 31, 2020 and $240,133,000 at December 31, 2019 were used to collateralize borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston ("FRB") Discount Window Borrower In Custody ("BIC") program. The Bank enrolled to participate in FRB's Payroll Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF); as of December 31, 2020 no loans had been pledged and no advances taken under the PPPLF.
The Bank is a designated Small Business Administration ("SBA") preferred lender and had processed 1,718 Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan requests totaling $97,566,000 in funds disbursed to qualified small businesses as of December 31, 2020. The Bank is actively working with those borrowers and the SBA towards forgiveness of loan balances per program guidelines, with approximately $37,000,000 in forgiveness payments received through the end of December 2020.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, non-accrual loans were $6,721,000 and $16,649,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, interest income which would have been recognized on these loans, if interest had been accrued, was $558,000 and $906,000. Loans more than 90 days past due accruing interest totaled $1,505,000 at December 31, 2020 and $1,560,000 at December 31, 2019. The Company continues to accrue interest on these loans because it believes collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured.
Loans to directors, officers and employees totaled $36,880,000 at December 31, 2020 and $35,071,000 at December 31, 2019. A summary of loans to directors and executive officers is as follows:

On March 22, 2020, banking regulators issued an Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting in response to the onset of COVID-19; shortly thereafter, on March 30, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was passed. Both the Interagency Statement and the CARES Act provided an exemption for qualified modifications from TDR designation. The Company actively worked with borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and as of December 31, 2020, a total of 1,031 loan modification requests for interest-only payments or deferred payments had been completed in conformance with the Interagency Statement or CARES Act, representing $291,100,000 in loan balances, or approximately 19.6% of the loan portfolio. One of these modifications of de minimis amount has been classified as a TDR since being modified. So long as modified terms are met, loans in an active modification are not included in past due loan totals and continue to accrue interest.
As of December 31, 2020, loans totaling $62,208,000 or 4.2% of all loans, remained in either their original modification or a subsequent modification. Modification statuses by portfolio segment are summarized below:

For all classes, loans are placed on non-accrual status when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when principal and interest is 90 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection (in which case the loan may continue to accrue interest in spite of its past due status). A loan is "well secured" if it is secured (1) by collateral in the form of liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt (including accrued interest) in full, or (2) by the guarantee of a financially responsible party. A loan is "in the process of collection" if collection of the loan is proceeding in due course either (1) through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or, (2) in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to a current status in the near future.
Cash payments received on non-accrual loans, which are included in impaired loans, are applied to reduce the loan's principal balance until the remaining principal balance is deemed collectible, after which interest is recognized when collected. As a general rule, a loan may be restored to accrual status when payments are current for a substantial period of time, generally six months, and repayment of the remaining contractual amounts is expected, or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. Information on nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is presented in the following table:

Impaired loans include TDR loans and loans placed on non-accrual. These loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of an impaired loan is lower than the recorded investment in the loan and estimated selling costs, a specific reserve is established for the difference, or, in certain situations, if the measure of an impaired loan is lower than the recorded investment in the loan and estimated selling costs, the difference is written off.

Troubled Debt Restructured
A TDR constitutes a restructuring of debt if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. To determine whether or not a loan should be classified as a TDR, Management evaluates a loan based upon the following criteria:
The borrower demonstrates financial difficulty; common indicators include past due status with bank obligations, substandard credit bureau reports, or an inability to refinance with another lender, and
The Company has granted a concession; common concession types include maturity date extension, interest rate adjustments to below market pricing, and deferment of payments.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 74 loans with a value of $11,534,000 that have been classified as TDRs. This compares to 81 loans with a value of $21,424,000 classified as TDRs as of December 31, 2019. The impairment carried as a specific reserve in the allowance for loan losses is calculated by present valuing the cashflow modification on the loan, or, for collateral-dependent loans, using the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell.
